I was thinking something like 8/145. That takes him through age 34. I wonder if he’d just prefer to take it through age 36 at that point.

Phillies just postponed tomorrow’s opener. Gotta figure it’s gonna happen for the O’s too.

Do the Yankees or Astros have a bottom 5 payroll?

We couldn’t beat 1/25? Really??

It’s a really bad look for MLB to have this service time manipulation continue. No other professional sports league holds players in perpetuity by keeping the more talented players in the minor leagues. I get that it’s a union issue to bargain for, but MLB should have some incentive to get rid of this too.

Don’t gatekeep. If I wanna whine in this thread about signing a useless player, I’m 100% gonna do that.

Boras is the expert in his field. If your lawyer or accountant advises you to take a course of action, most people do that. They’re also employees.

But he’ll be in there every day. If he’s not catching, he’s likely the DH.

So your answer is just that’s how it is, so who am I to question? Isn’t that the purpose of this place? To question what the team is doing.

Why should the 26th spot be so minimized? It’s not like we have a bunch of unimpeachable starters. Gunnar, Adley, and Santander are the only guys who should be in every day.

Trolls gonna be disingenuous.

You whine about Sports Guy or Corn dunking on you weeks after the fact.

Yes, Tyler Nevin and his replacement are not ML caliber players. We have plenty of those in Norfolk but Elias loves manipulating service time while pretending he’s not. It’s pathetic and should be “whined” about.

It would be cool if every team opened up with a series in a foreign country.

Then why release Wong?

What the f’ing f is this BS. Arrrrgggggghhhhh

I have no idea what you’re saying.

If he gets a deal similar to Snell, I’d be all for it. I have no interest in giving him more than a couple of years though.

This. There’s just no way to know given the restraints of previous ownership. Given where Elias comes from, I could see some potential for aversion to long term extensions.

Who could’ve foreseen Norby might need to learn to play OF? Totally unknowable. Oh well guess he’ll have to learn that in Norfolk.

Tyler Nevin is on the 40 man. Those spots aren’t that precious.

Yeah no way he could’ve beat out Tyler Nevin.

Anyone else sense some frustration?

Hyde’s son.

Apparently not as much.
